i just picked up a Pro Co DB-1 Direct Box at a discount price at a local store, but it did not come with the directions (hence the price drop). but i only paid $30 for it.

anyway, could someone fill me in on the features/options so that i can use this correctly? thanks in advance

I dont think it's a good idea to plug a set of headphones directly into an Aux output on my mixer. er, i dont know if it's a good idea; but i dont want to learn the hard way.

Is it safe to plus a pair of stereo headphones into an Aux out? i believe the out is stereo, but what if it's mono?

do i need some sort of adapter or something?

I would like to make my own cables. What recommendations do you have for quality cable and connectors. I need to make balanced 1/4 to 1/4 and XLR, as well as instrument cables. I want quality but have a limited budget.
Thanks for your help.

hey guys,
i was looking to add a stereo eq to my fp10 and put it in the send/return for channel 1 and 2. i could only find a single channel parametric eq but lots or graphic eqs. so i was wonndering would a graphic eq be ok, such as a dbx 215. i know its used mostly between the speakers and power amp, would the levels be ok to use in the send and return in the fp10

i got the Beta 57A not too long ago and have only heard good things Micing my Sun Beta half-stack. It really preserves that clear Red Hot Chilli Peppers Fender tone that i was looking for. i honestly dont need to EQ it at all and dont have to worry about a certain placement.

Friends I have a collection of files that are in different formats like WMV, AVI, MPEG-1 and so on…..I want to convert them into DVD format so that I can use this one on DVD players. Please suggest me any good software that I can use.

Thanks in advance!

Ok the problem is i have a mac pro 7 gigs of ram and its telling me that it is buffering out on me. if i turn all my plugins on and then try to editon while the song is playing its stops and bring up an error message tell me it buffered out and to turn up my hardware buffer but my buffer is all the way up.

I am going to record a student percussion recital some time next month. I'll get more details later, but I'm assuming a good deal of marimba or other mallet instruments. What do you recommend. There is an interesting thread on this here . Any other suggestions?

I bought a MobilePreUSB preamp off ebay and it came with Live Lite 4 as well as a demo version of Cool Edit Pro. If anyone remembers my post in the budget forum, I'm just starting out, trying to record my friend's small band's first album so it doesn't have to be anything spectacular. Is Live Lite 4 good enough for what I want to do?

Trying to get my KRK Rokit 5's to my computer. I have a split XLR to 1/8 in. to the computer...I thought this would work but apparently i'm missing a step. Any suggestions? Thanks
